The second most important newspaper in Suriname after «De Ware Tijd». The oldest newspaper in operation today in Suriname, known since colonial times. It dates back to 1909 and was created to compete with the then-active newspaper «Suriname». Unlike the latter, this new newspaper often published critical articles that went against the official political line of the country. «De West» can be called an opposition newspaper, although its creator, William Kraan, was a member of Parliament, he did not hesitate to publish very bold articles and statements here. At that time it was a conservative newspaper, and in the post-war period, in the 1950s, it represented the political interests of the «Social Democratic National Party», «Nationale Partij Suriname» (NPS), then — for some time it was associated with the new Democratic party «Surinaamse Democratische Partij» (SDP). In the 1960s and 1970s, De West was the undisputed leader in the Surinamese press market (7,000 daily copies), outperforming its rival, Suriname, twice in circulation. Unfortunately, the newspaper was closed in 1980 after a military coup, when Desiree Delano Bouterse came to power, but after 4 years it returned to publication, although with various censorship restrictions.
